Flora Earrings Pattern
Category:
OtherSkill Level:
Advanced
Basic Skills Necessary:
- Tatting basics, tatting with two shuttles, hinding ends.
Pattern Description:
This is my own original tatting design, created as a pattern in pdf format. In size 20 thread, this little motif will measure approximately 7/8" wide and 1" tall (without beads or ear wires).
I would call this an intermediate level tatting pattern that uses two shuttles, rings, chains, picots, joins, lock joins, and beads. The bead work is fully explained and involves learning to "sew" a bead cluster onto your tatting, a method of adding beads I really enjoy.
The written long-hand instructions are in English. The pattern contains a scan of the earrings with the stitch count laid over the scan, as well as a pictorial diagram of the bead cluster technique in the pattern.
The pattern file size is approximately 156 KB, and is in pdf format. It is necessary to have Adobe Reader on your computer in order to open this file, but you can get that program for free at

Sizing / Finished Measurements:
- With size 20 thread, the motif itself is about 7/8" x 1". The beaded version will be about 1" wide and 2" long (depending on your choice of beads and ear wires).
Materials:
- tatting shuttle, thin large-eye needle, very tiny crochet hook, 4 yds tatting thread, 18 seed beads and two coordinating larger beads.
You Will Also Need:
- Ear wires of your choice.

About the Designer
I have always found joy in the self-expression possible through art. Over the years I tried diverse mediums from painting to pottery, cross-stitch to calligraphy. All of these were pushed to the back burner however, when, seventeen years ago, my grandma and I sat down together and she taught me the technique of tatting. A love of this beautiful lost art consumed me.

I have always found joy in the self-expression possible through art. Over the years I tried diverse mediums from painting to pottery, cross-stitch to calligraphy. All of these were pushed to the back burner however, when, seventeen years ago, my grandma and I sat down together and she taught me the technique of tatting. A love of this beautiful lost art consumed me.
Tatting is a form of lace-making consisting of knotting threads into rings and chains, forming beautiful patterns of open and closed space. It is created by using thread, your hands, and a tool called a shuttle. Traditionally, tatting has been used for practical items like baby bonnets, table doilies, and lace edgings on various linens. I wanted to use my tatting in a fresh and modern way, but one that would still allow it to be displayed and easily identified as this beautiful old craft. My tatted lace jewelry developed as I searched for a contemporary expression of this classic form of lace-making.
Now I offer the patterns I have been using for many years for you to try your own hand at tatted jewelry.
